Cholesterol
There's a lot of news about cholesterol these days, and with good reason.
High cholesterol contributes to heart disease, which kills more Americans
than all cancers combined. A regular exercise routine and good eating
habits — along with medication if your doctor recommends it — can keep
cholesterol levels under control and lower your risk of heart disease.

Smoking and Heart Attacks

Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attacks, even among younger adults. Researchers writing in the journal Tobacco Control in 2004 said smoking boosts the risk for heart attack by about five times in adults younger than age 40. Smoking was a factor in 81 percent of men in that age group who had a heart attack, and in 77 percent of women in that age group, according to the study.
